The property is expected to open in 2025. InterContinental Grenada is being built by Range Developments, a leading developer of branded hotels in the eastern Caribbean, which are funded under the Citizenship by Investment program.

In mid-June 2022, it became known that absolutely all shares of the Six Senses La Sagesse project, which is already being built in Grenada by Range Developments, have been sold out. Immediately after, a new project was announced — InterContinental Grenada. For the developer, this will be the fourth project in the Caribbean region under the investment citizenship program. Range Developments’ flagship project, St. Kitts’ Park Hyatt, opened to guests on November 1, 2017.
This luxury resort has won numerous awards and received wide acclaim in international media. CNN recognized it as “The Best New Hotel in the Caribbean,” and Forbes called it a “huge Caribbean debut.” In October 2019, Range Developments opened Cabrits Resort & Spa Kempinski, Dominica. And Six Senses La Sagesse, according to the announced plans, will open in 2023.
